Chelsea, led by manager Mauricio Pochettino, triumphed with a 4-1 victory over Tottenham, ending Spurs' unbeaten start to the Premier League season in a thrilling match featuring two red cards and five disallowed goals.

The action began with Dejan Kulusevski scoring for Ange Postecoglou's team within the first 57 minutes. Cristian Romero received a straight red card, leading to a penalty converted by Cole Palmer.

The first half was intense, marked by three disallowed goals and the departure of Micky van de Ven and James Maddison due to injuries.

Soon after half-time, Destiny Udogie was sent off, reducing Spurs to nine players. Chelsea's numerical advantage eventually paid off, with Nicolas Jackson scoring in the 75th minute and completing a hat-trick with two stoppage-time goals, concluding a highly eventful London derby.

While the pre-match focus was on the reception for Mauricio Pochettino, he received a warm welcome from his counterpart, Ange Postecoglou.

This match, known for its drama, set the tone with a strong tackle by Moises Caicedo on Maddison within the first three minutes.

The rivalry between the clubs, especially during Pochettino's Tottenham tenure, has been intense, notably after the 'Battle of the Bridge' in 2016.

Pochettino's return to N17, nearly four years after his sacking, saw Tottenham take an early lead with Kulusevski's goal, but the match remained action-packed with disallowed goals, VAR checks, and numerous incidents.

In the end, Chelsea emerged victorious, securing Pochettino's first statement result of his reign.
